Standards Review Process
Wisconsin Standards for Mathematics began the review and revision process in winter 2020. Specific information about the standards review process can be found on DPI's webpage for standards.
The article linked here summarizes the process, provides information about how to be involved, and explains the status of standards for mathematics in other states.
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has a transparent and comprehensive process for reviewing and revising academic standards. The process began with a Notice of Intent to review and a month-long public comment period which began on January 28th, 2020. After the 30 day public notice period, the State Superintendent’s Academic Standards Review Council will examine those comments and recommend whether to revise or develop those standards. The State Superintendent determines whether to move forward with a revision process or continue with the current standards. If revision or development is determined to be needed, a state writing committee is then formed to work on those standards for all grade levels. That draft is then made openly available for review to get feedback from the public, key stakeholders, educators, and the Legislature, with further review by the State Superintendent’s Standards Review Council. The State Superintendent then determines adoption of the standards.
Wisconsin's Vision for Student Success in Mathematics
Mathematical proficiency is essential for every student in Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin Standards for Mathematics demonstrate a commitment to high expectations for what students should learn and the instructional shifts that will prepare them for their future.
Educators and leaders at all levels must take on the challenge and the responsibility to ensure that all students are mathematically literate.
Students should analyze, reason, and communicate ideas effectively as they pose, formulate, interpret, and solve mathematical problems in a variety of situations to ensure success in a world beyond the classroom.
